“Don't write what you know. Write who you are. Write your heart and soul. Write what you dream of when you look to the stars.”
Luke Taylor

Dani Shapiro
“If we are artists- hell, whether or not we're artists- it is our job, our responsibility, perhaps even our sacred calling, to take whatever life has handed us and make something new, something that wouldn't have existed if not for the fire, the genetic mutation, the sick baby, the accident.”
Dani Shapiro, Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life

Dani Shapiro
“I believe that we don't choose our stories," she began, leaning forward. "Our stories choose us." She paused and took a sip of water. Her hand, I noticed was steady.. "And if we don't tell them, then we are somehow diminished.”
Dani Shapiro, Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life

Dani Shapiro
“When I think of the wisest people I know, they share one defining trait: curiosity. They turn away from the minutiae of their lives-and focus on the world around them. They are motivated by the desire to explore the unfamiliar. They are drawn toward what they don't understand.”
Dani Shapiro, Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life

“You can love someone and still choose to say goodbye to them,” she says now. “You can miss a person every day, and still be glad that they are no longer in your life.”
Tara Westover, Educated
